[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 424897, member: 505"] Autorotate, I thought about the excalibur although I have never shot it. The reason I didn't list it is because like the 378 and 416 case I feel that it would not do as well with the short barrel as the lapua based wildcats. Those big powder guzzlers are for sure the best ones to shoot a mile with but like long barrels to utilize all that slow burning powder. The efficient case design of the lapua based wildcats may be better in the short barrel required to meet the specs. I have experience with those and they do very well with the short barrels. I am not familiar with the carbon barrels being accurate enough to shoot a mile either. I think it may take a fat 26" barrel to be most accurate at a mile and that would require a very efficient case design. I am no guru on this but offer that opinion. If the carbon barrels work out they will be the go to thing for light hunting rifles with long range capability. But like I said, it is extremely difficult to shoot a light rifle long range. [/QUOTE]
